My heart is very heavy at the loss of your precious Mom. She and I spent much time together during our high school years as we were best of friends. I will continue to lift you both up in prayer and may God give you His comfort and strength at this sad time in your lives.

Brandon and Andrea,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a very classy lady, a dedicated teacher and a caring, loving mom to you and all the kids that grew up in the neighborhood. I have many fond memories hanging out at your house. Your mom was always very welcoming of me and all the kids. May the peace of the Lord come upon you and your family and comfort you in this time of loss.
With deepest sympathy,

I taught across the hallway from your mother at Young Jr. High and knew her well. We had a lot of laughs together. I am sure you will miss her as will everyone else. We both retired in 2004.

We meet at Jack's funeral. I worked with Jack at GD during 80s and early 90s. I'm sorry you had to lose your parents so close together and at such young ages.


Sincerely,
